My Work

A History of Action

Inspiring Change Through Talks

I speak at conferences, universities, and events, sharing real-world solutions and lessons from Nature so others can learn, adapt, and take action in meaningful ways.

Creating Alliances for Change

I founded an alliance of 120+ organizations dedicated to ecological solutions, fostering collaboration and action. Recognizing the power of collective action.

Life in the Amazon

For over two decades, I have worked in the Ecuadorean Amazon, journeying from the headwaters in Ecuador to Brazil to create the documentary Blood of the Amazon, amplifying the voices of those who live there and instigating numerous projects.

Providing Clean Water

After witnessing rivers polluted by oil spills and children falling sick, I started a project to provide hundreds of family’s rainwater systems to provide clean drinking water. Here is the video how to build a simple rainwater system..

Transforming Plastic Waste

Seeing communities overwhelmed by plastic, I introduced eco-bricks—plastic bottles filled with waste—to construct benches, walls, and even a restaurant made from 3,200 plastic bottles. and this eco-brick health centre.

Using Fungi to Heal the Land

Discovering that fungi can clean up oil spills, I invited scientists to trial mycoremediation in the Amazon, founding The Amazon Mycorenewal Project and filming and producing the documentary Solution to the Pollution.

Regenerative Farming

To combat tropical deforestation, I launched an inga alley cropping project in the Ecuadorean Amazon with Rainforest Saver, teaching regenerative agroforestry. We now work with 100+ farmers and 12 indigenous communities, restoring soil and reviving abandoned land—without agrochemicals. Watch a short video I made with the words of our farmers .

Protecting Ancient Forests

With Greenpeace and The Wilderness Society I lived 65 meters up in the Styx Valley Global Rescue Station, the world’s tallest tree-sit to raise awareness about the destruction of ancient forests. We saved that forest from deforestation, and it is now a World Heritage Site. See the first documentary I ever made The Styx Valley of the Giants

Rewilding and Conservation

In the South of England I am lucky enough to manage 10 acres of land. Working with conservation groups we have created a thriving Nature reserve and an eco retreat and events site. To come and visit or hold and event or retreat see The Willows Lakeside Retreat
